Speakers or Components

Postby Leon on Sat Sep 08, 2007 10:56 am

Hi Chaps,

I have a MK4 Fiesta as below and need to replace the current speakers :lol:

Should I go with components (existing) or just speakers..? What's the difference?

Components are better.

Components are split speakers usually run through a crossover instead of housed all in one unit. For example instead of a two way speaker you can get a pack of speakers with a door speaker and a tweeter.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

Cheers for the reply, Olly.

So am I right in presuming that by removing the existing standard speaker the existing tweeter would be rendered useless?

Well yeah but why not rip it out and replace the original door speaker and tweeter with some better aftermarket ones, if you get a component set. Stealthy install for security but a better sound.
